Ingredients
390 g flour (3 cups, loosely packed)
312 ml lukewarm water (1 and 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp)
1 tsp salt (6 g)
1 and 1/2 tsp yeast (4.5 g)
1 tbsp sugar (12.5 g)
Instructions
- In a bowl, pour in the lukewarm water. Add sugar, salt, and yeast. Stir until dissolved.
- Add the flour and mix to form a sticky, well-combined dough with no dry patches.
- Cover the bowl with a cloth or plastic wrap and let the dough rise for 30 minutes.
- After proofing, gently stretch and fold the dough from all four sides. Wet your hands to prevent sticking.
- Divide the dough into four equal pieces and shape each into a round ball. Dust with flour.
- Flatten one dough ball into a disc approximately 16-17 cm in diameter and 1.5 cm thick. Keep the rest covered.
- Preheat a heavy-bottomed cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.
- Place the flattened dough into the pan. When it starts to puff up (after 1 minute), flip and cook the other side.
- Continue flipping every 1.5 to 2 minutes until fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes total.
- Transfer the cooked bread onto a tea towel and cover with another to keep warm. Repeat with remaining dough balls.
Notes
Add dried herbs like oregano or rosemary to the dough for extra flavor.
For a cheesy version, add feta or mozzarella between dough layers before cooking.
For a sweet version, add more sugar or a bit of honey to the dough.
Use a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free option (texture may vary).
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Reheat on a skillet or wrap in foil and warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes.
